I need a set of 3", yes 3 inch LX STYLE (the straight type, not GT) tailpipes for my Mustang GT. My aftermarket back bumper has 4 inch holes for exhaust, and i dont think 2.5 inch pipes would look right. Any suggestions?

i wasnt aware of the LX and GT having different pipes, the LX bumper shows the pipes, and the GT bumper covers them, but otherwise i wasnt aware of a difference BTW try BBK performance

The LX Style are straight, but if you look at any 87-93 GT, they bend down at the very end due to the low bumper. Thats why i need LX style. I'll see what BBK offers, thanks.

Well, since the part number is for a MAC cat back system one would deduce them to be MAC
:P

The definition of a "catback" is from the cat....back...meaning from the catalytic converter pipe back to the end of the car...that would be flow tubes, mufflers and tailpipes

So a Dynomax Catback would be Dynomax flowtubes, mufflers and tailpipes....a Borla Catback would be Borla flowtubes, mufflers and tailpipes......a Bassani Catback would be Bassani flowtubes, mufflers and tailpipes....and so on and so on....

Currently, i have 2.5 flowmaster no-cat setup....I was going to call and see if i can only get the tailpipes, because everything else is all set besides the pipes out of the muffler.
